Brick chosen to harmonize Varsity House

The Floren Varsity House is proceeding ahead of schedule. The OPDC has recent interior views, as does the varsity athletics site. The article in The Dartmouth quotes OPDC Project Manager Mary Bourque:

Although other alternatives were originally considered, brick was selected to integrate with the surrounding buildings. Careful consideration was given to the view of Floren Varsity House from within Memorial Stadium.

Perhaps this explains the substitution of renderings of a brick-skinned building for the original green-paneled design on the school’s website during 2005.
